Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Food that went in my mouth instead of my arm would be an even nicer improvement.

Or sit in front of a slot machine anywhere, really.

I actually always hate that. Don't like being opened up to someone attractive.

OTOH, glad you're doing better! How's Mrs Tiresnorer?

I've got an extra booster pot in storage. Can't imagine it would bring much on CL.

Rode to the beach today. 75 miles, perfect cool weather in the way down, but I brought way too much water. Ended up with 3 extra bottles.

On the downside, it's a trainer. Ugh.
I hit the rollers for a couple minutes

A couple weeks ago I had mystery swelling in my foot (of the wounded leg). My rheumatologist didn't think it was arthritis-related and, out of caution, had me go in for an ultrasound to rule out DVT (ATTN: @patentcad).

The technician was better than average looking (though not hot). I had to unclothe and she slathered hot gel all the way up my leg and then mashed the instrument upon my flesh.

No blockage was detected.

There is no point to this story.
